A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Naima! I recently traded the rainy charm of Seattle for the vibrant streets of Portland, and I’m excited to bring my 5 years of nannying/ babysitting experience to new families here. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and have a special knack for connecting with energetic, spirited little ones. I’m patient, dependable, and love turning everyday moments into fun, creative adventures while making sure your kids are safe, happy, and cared for.

A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Maya, I value listening, kindness, empathy, and being silly. In my free time I study plant medicine, guitar, and Bahasa Indonesia and Balinese.
In college I worked at my school's daycare looking after kids mainly 6 months to 5 years in age.
Since then I've babysat for various neighbors. At my old house, I would babysit some neighbors in the evenings, who were 3, 5, and 7 years old. We all love playing together outside and making up games.
Most currently I babysit my 8 year old neighbor. I've known them for over a year now. We love to play outside, harvest fruit, and venture to the library.
I believe growing up with five siblings has made me a good listener and a compassionate mediator. I help my sister with her 3 year old and feel so lucky to be present for his different developmental stages.
I love being with kids because they are learning about themselves and the world for the first time and I think that is so very special.

A little bit about me
I’m a nurturing, creative mom and professional caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families during this fleeting stage of childhood. Parent of a 14‑year‑old daughter heading into high school, which has deepened my appreciation for how fast these years pass.
I bring over 20 years of experience as a Gerontologist in care‑centered leadership roles, grounded in patience, empathy, safety, and trust. At this point in my life, I’m thoughtfully exploring what my next chapter of purpose will be, and in the meantime I’m intentionally doing work I love, hands‑on caregiving.
As a babysitter, I offer a calm, attentive, and playful presence. I enjoy reading, imaginative play, light crafts, conversation, and supporting routines while honoring each family’s values. I’m reliable, communicative, and emotionally aware. If you have pets, that’s a plus, I’m very comfortable with furry family members.
My goal is to care for your child with warmth and intention, and to give you genuine peace of mind.

My name is Liliana. I am a full time nursing student at the University of Portland. I love to spend time outdoors! I love to travel, try new foods, and learn about different cultures. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and hope to learn more Italian. I have worked for 5 years at a children’s sports camp and want to continue working with children. When I become a nurse I’m hoping to practice in the pediatric field. I am extroverted and love spending time with people… and pets! I also enjoy cooking and am always looking for new recipes.

We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
